4.0

This was a reread and I was struggling with believing the narrator as a 13 year old girl so I listened along to Sophie Amoss on the audiobook while also reading my book. This really helped.

I do adore when Chuck Palahniuk leans into horror fantasy so this did still hook me after a while. Lurid creativity abounds with a thick layer of grime. You do need a steel stomach for these descriptions, as per usual.

Excited for the sequel now. Gonna get the print book and audiobook ready together soon.
